Here is VaRanjith's Security Configuration.

Browsers and Extensions:

• I would add an ad blocker. I highly recommend uBlock Origin. You can leave it at default settings or tweak it to your liking.

System Backup:

• I would at least do a monthly backup of your system. The free version of Macrium Reflect does the job well. Please see my comments on the matter for more info.

Besides that, nice config!

Optional changes to make:
- change default from Google to DDG
- add an backup solution of your choice (software wise)

Otherwise rest look simple for your needs.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have changed the default search engine to ddg. Regarding the back up software, I have synced all my important files to my onedrive and my code synced with github, do i actually need a back up software? I mean, if anything happens I can fresh install windows right?

Yes you can still fresh install. With a fresh install, you'll have to install and configure your programs from scratch.

The benefits of a full system image backup is that you can restore to a known clean and stable build of your system with programs and settings still intact.

Technically you don't need additional software as Windows 10 still has the built-in Backup and Restore function that enables you to make a full system image backup. However, that feature is being depreciated which is why I recommended the free version of Macrium Reflect.
